We're updating some of our product names. K2 Five is now Nintex Automation. You may see both product names in our help pages while we make this change.
Methods
The following methods are available when you create a SmartObject:
- The Create/Save & Delete methods: These methods are used to populate the SmartObject with records.
- The Load/Get List methods allow you to retrieve records from the SmartObject.
You will not see the Methods tab when you create a simple SmartObject as default methods are automatically created for you. If you need to control the configuration of the methods, such as when you create a composite SmartObject (using multiple service objects), or you need to chain SmartObject methods, you must create an Advanced SmartObject.
The five standard methods of SmartObjects are:
- Create - Creates records
- Save - Saves records
- Load - Loads a single record
- Delete - Deletes records
- Get List - Lists records
These methods are available in the K2 Object Browser under Environment > SmartObject Server for use in K2 Workflows.If you want to choose multiple SmartObject services, or to add/delete SmartObject methods, you must create an Advanced SmartObject or edit the simple SmartObject and change the type to Advanced SmartObject.
